Stars & Hexagons - You should now be getting quite skilled in the above counting songs and need to move your learning forward. Can you count from different starting points BACKWARDS? Ask an older sibling or parent if free to ask you to count on from different starting points BACKWARDS.

For example, 37,36,35,34,33 / 60,58,56,54,52 / 45,40,35,30,25 / 70,60,50,40,

You all did a brilliant job last week developing your recall of doubles and you will continue to develop and improve your quick mental recall this week by doing a daily doubles hit the button. Choose the level you need to improve.

REMEMBER The skill you have been aiming to develop is 'QUICK MENTAL RECALL OF DOUBLES' AND NOT JUST TO BE ABLE TO WORK IT OUT BY ADDING ON. Click on Hit the Button picture to open then click on doubles circle. Next choose doubles section shown below for your group.

This week we are going to focus on what the actual amount of numbers looks like and how numbers can be split into tens and ones, which will help further your understanding of number.

This afternoon, you are going to make a volcano erupt!

How? - I hear you ask

Well, hopefully you all went and got the things on your shopping list from Fridays lesson as you will need these. Go and get them and place them on the table.

Can you remember what you needed?

First, let's refresh our brains and watch the video all about Lava flow.

Ok, let's get on with making a volcano erupt.

How do you think we are going to make it happen?

Right, first I want you to read the instructions in the sheet below and follow them step by step.

What happens if we don't follow instructions step by step?

Parents - help your child to follow and carry out the instructions, let them be as independent as possible. Open the prompt question card and as they are completing the experiment, ask them to think about the questions listed.

After they have completed it, refer to the 'Science behind it' section on the bottom of the instructions sheet.

Send us your videos of the erupting volcanos.

Science experiment - Such Fun

VIDEOS FROM YORK CLASS WILL GO UP ON A FRIDAY AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS PAGE

This afternoon, we are going to continue with our art work based on the style of Eric Carle.

Hopefully, you all made your painted paper yesterday and it's ready to be used today. If not go ahead and do that today.

For the next stage, you are going to decide on a dinosaur that you want to create. Below are some pictures to help you decide.

Once you have chosen the dinosaur, you need an adult to help you do the next part.
First you need to divide your dinosaur into different sections ( watch the second video from yesterday where they start to make the insect) You are going to do the same but making a dinosaur.
It's best to have these parts: body, each leg, neck, head, tail, plates, horns.
Draw each body part onto the different coloured paper and cut them out. Cutting is a great way of developing so many vital skills like hand to eye coordination, hand strength and muscle control so please get your children to do as much as possible themselves.
Now assemble them in the shape of the dinosaur and glue them on to a backing sheet.
Don't forget to send us your pictures we'd love to see them.

Spelling Test - Ask your Parent to read out the spelling words (out of order) for you to write down, get them to mark them and give you a score out of 10.

Open the image for your group and work through the Big Maths CLIC number questions to develop mathematical vocabulary and use your number knowledge. Either print off the sheet or write the sums in your book. THIS IS NOT A TIMED ACTIVITY

Hexagons, Diamonds & Hearts Stars

CLIC CLIC

Today is the 3rd time you will take part in the weekly Big Maths Beat That timed challenge. So before you begin print off the sheet below or write the sums in your book ready to time yourself without working out the answers.

PARENTS IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

The Big Maths challenge is a once a week timed activity and you will be working towards eventually completing this sheet in 30 seconds. You will complete the same sums each week but they will be presented in different orders. Now you all know from learning about time that 30 seconds is not a lot of time and I am not expecting anyone to be able to complete it in 30 seconds on the 3rd attempt. In fact it will most likely take many weeks for some and others may not get there until towards the end of year 1. Read the instructions for your group for a good starting point for your level of learning. So get comfortable and ask a parent to time you completing the sums in your book or on the sheet.

Stars - At your level you should be able to mentally recall these addition facts and you will be focusing on improving your time and quick mental recall week by week.

Hexagons - At your level you may be able to mentally recall simple addition facts or you may need to use the strategy where you put the largest number in your head and count on. For example 6 + 4, put 6 in your head hold up 4 fingers and count on from 6 until all 4 fingers are added to the 6.

Diamonds - Some of you may be able to use the same strategy as hexagons to solve or you may need to count out objects and add them together to find your answer.

Hearts - At your level you will need to use objects to count into 2 groups and then count them all together to find your answer.

WHATEVER STRATEGY YOU USE TO SOLVE PLEASE REMEMBER TO TIME YOURSELF AND WRITE IT IN YOUR BOOK OR ON THE SHEET. YOU ARE WORKING TO IMPROVE YOUR TIME WEEK BY WEEK!
